Chapter 128: Dekan, Be A Human
"Huh?"
Ice Princess’s face, still marked with tear streaks, completely froze. She widened her silver eyes that were still shimmering with tears. Filled with shock and disbelief, her red lips slightly parted. Before she could recover from the sadness, her emotions were completely ruined by an extremely bizarre celebration.
What happened?
The Ice Princess wanted to think, but her brain, disrupted by the sudden absurd scene, lost its ability to function.
For a moment, she didn't know whether to continue crying, laugh it off, or get angry. Despite having over two hundred years of life experience, she couldn't handle the current situation. Her brain had crashed.
"Croix, how was my acting just now?"
Dekan couldn't help but admire the expression on the Ice Princess's face. It was like her internet connection had been abruptly cut off.
"..." Croix remained silent for a while.
"You’re becoming less and less like a human..." He sharply commented.
"No! Impossible!"Meanwhile, the other victim, Isabel, was relatively more alert. Her frozen expression gradually gave way to panic. There was no way Dekan could break free from her control!
Isabel couldn't understand what method Dekan had used to break free from the [Blood Pact Incantation]! However, Isabel noticed that Dekan seemed to have noticed her at this moment. He wore a satisfied smile on his face, as if he had just enjoyed a hearty meal. Then, while admiring Isabel's expression, Dekan walked towards her without any guard.
"You...could it be..."
Isabel's expression gradually became panic-stricken, her heart was jumping wildly! She suddenly thought of a dreadful situation. All three crosses were pointing at her...
Could it be possible that they didn't represent all correct but all wrong?!
Isabel seemed unwilling to believe this fact and shouted desperately at Dekan, self-deceiving, "Dekan! I command you not to come any closer!"
However, Dekan didn't stop at all.
"Look at how you're dressed! I, the vanguard against sexual vices and crimes, have tolerated you for a long time!"
Dekan proclaimed with righteous indignation.
"Hands on your head! Squat down and don't move!"
As soon as he said that, Isabel found herself unable to resist and, following his command, shamelessly squatted on the ground, holding the back of her head!
Considering her current neat appearance, it felt like she was being arrested on the spot, lacking only a pair of handcuffs.
"Why..."
Isabel murmured absentmindedly. She hadn't even realized that the servant was herself! It wasn't until Dekan gave her a real command that she felt an invisible force constraining her soul. Even if Dekan asked her to crawl on the ground and bark like a dog, she couldn't resist.
"Haven't you noticed that I seemed to be deliberately trying to make you use the [Blood Pact Incantation] on me?"
Dekan still approached Isabel unhurriedly. A faint smile lingered on his face. Even Isabel's final move, the [Shadow Block], hadn't exceeded his expectations.
He stared directly at Isabel. In the center of those golden pupils seemed to conceal the deepest black, like a devouring black hole that could consume everything. Gazed by those eyes, Isabel tremble uncontrollably.
Isabel suddenly realized a problem. Dekan's eyes... Were they like this before? No! Dekan's eyes were blue! The guy in front of her wasn't Dekan! Isabel hastily inspected her soul, trying to find the contract imprinted on it. Whether a servant or a master, they could at least see each other's true names on this contract. She quickly found this unmistakably clear contract and began probing the information within it. Apart from the otherworldly magical text that she couldn't identify, [Dekan Taromati] was imprinted on the contract.
"Taromati..."
Isabel murmured absentmindedly. She couldn't understand.
When Dekan was born in this world, he didn't have a surname. He didn't receive a bestowed surname from any noble. According to the world's rules, Dekan's true name should be "Dekan” no matter what. He shouldn't have a surname.
Unless... "Taromati" wasn't Dekan's surname but another name! So... the true meaning of [Dekan Taromati] was that he was both Dekan and Taromati!
But who was Taromati? It sounded like a female name, but there was absolutely no mention of this name in the Resurgence Church's intelligence! Even if their intelligence network was not as good as the Kingdoms Federation, no one should be able to hide under their noses without a trace!
"Who are you?! Our intelligence cannot be wrong!" Isabel snapped back to reality from her thoughts, shouting anxiously.
Even though she was trying hard to control her emotions, she couldn't stop her body from trembling. The more Isabel knew, the more she felt an unknown fear!
Dekan seemed indifferent to the panic on Isabel's face, simply stating with a calm smile, "Without a doubt, I am Dekan. I’m fifteen years old and am studying at the Hevenlit Magic Academy. I study earnestly, follow the rules, and have never violated any school regulations. Every day, I lead an ordinary life and would occasionally go to the Shadow Worlds with friends to relax. Researching magic cards is my hobby; and the cards I produce are of absolute quality. Never have I ever earned any ill-gotten gains from them. I also enjoy the leisurely time spent with friends in the afternoons, participating in club activities, and chatting about lighthearted and pleasant topics every day. No matter how you investigate this information, it will be correct because it is the truth."
Dekan's voice was gentle, like a breeze brushing over the earth.
"Of course."
At this point, his voice suddenly became like the overlapping voices of a man and a woman, filled with a strange and enchanting allure.
"From now on, I am also the master you will devote your entire life to serving. I hope we can get along well."
Before Isabel’s eyes, a phantom image began to appear intermittently with Dekan. It was a demon with the aura of a supreme being and giving off a mysterious oppression.
Isabel gritted her teeth, trembling all over. Uncontrollable tears slid from the corners of her eyes. It was not because of humiliation but because she truly felt a kind of fear that swept through her body and soul. The cold that spread from the depths of her being to her skin made her momentarily forget the chilly sensation on her body.
She didn't know what she had gotten herself into, but she knew one thing: this guy wasn't something that should exist on this earth!
